Happy to be able to announce that Demetrix wrapped up our Series A. I'm hoping to spend a little less time with zoom and more time with data and #fsharp. finance.yahoo.com/news/demet…

Ceiling on #SpinalMuscularAtrophy #GeneTherapy cost-effectiveness? Keying off different #QALY values, @ICER_Review sees $900K, @Novartis sees $5M, while others like @PioneerBoston argue against QALY approach buff.ly/2GMv447 @ReutersDeenaB @Reuters @STATnews via @DailyScan

My latest blog post is out: BIOMEDICAL ETHICS: MORAL DILEMMAS WITH LIVES IN THE BALANCE. With all the media emphasis on dealmaking in biopharma, ethical considerations often get pushed to the background. Lots of unresolved issues that need to be discussed:

An extensive review concludes that GMO is less disruptive of crop genetics than conventional breeding, so the huge rigorous evaluations & regulations are not justified by any scientific evidence of safety risk, simply a waste of time & money! @mark_lynas

The cost to farmers from delaying GM crop adoption in Australia is estimated to be $485M. Imagine what the benefits could be for LDC farmers, where a 1-2% increase in income is huge. In light of these findings, how can eNGOs in good conscience oppose GMOs? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
